Getting older involves so many
losses that it seems to us even
more important to continue doing
those things we are able to do.

Most of us make many small
decisions on a daily basis about
how we want to live. Managing
our own money is the way we put
into effect those choices,

People who give someone else
authority 10 manage their money
often say that they feel as if they
have given away some control
over their lives. And it is wise to
be cautious when dealing with
your financial security.

it may be that your nephew
wants to offer you support and
help but doesn’t know the best
way to go about it.

You might say to him, ‘'] am
quite able to manage my own fi-
nances with a little help from the
bank but J could use your help in
other ways, such as mailing my
cheques, buying stamps, or taking
my deposits to the bank."’

You might also suggest that he
could help you in other ways such
as helping you to shovel the side-
walk, prune the trees, or help in-
vestigate good investment oppor-
tunities. Whatever you feel is ap-
propriate.
